His manifest precocity, indisputable genius, ardent ambition, and captivating charm earned him the admiration and respect of many prorninent Americans of his day and marriage to one of New York's most socially prominent and richest families. The distinguished public career that Hamilton craved above all else he swiftly achieved, but the popular acclaim he also sought eluded him, and the feverish pursuit of it led to the famous "interview at Weehawken," in which he was mortally wounded by Aaron Burr. In this, the boldest reinterpretive biography in eight decades, Professor Jacob E. Cooke skillfully unravels the tangled threads forming the complex personality that was Hamilton. Professor Cooke perceptively uncovers a pattern of rash and self~defeating behavior that recurred time and again during Hamilton's meteoric career and that contributed to the hostility he incurred both contemporaneously and posthumously. A hallmark of this biography of the most famous secretary of the Treasury is its objectivity. Professor Cooke refuses to side with either of the two most prominent political gladiators in this nation's history~Hamilton and his great antagonist, Thomas Jefferson. Studiedly impartial, Professor Cooke instead shows how bogus and exaggerated the stormy differences between these two premiere American statesmen often were. In the process, he sheds new light on the still controversial and perennially fascinating history of the early and formative years of our national history. The storm center of American politics from the beginning to the end of his career, Hamilton was a man of rare genius and is a person of enduring historical importance. This biography is an absorbing and intriguing account of his public accomplishments and personal misfortunes. …
